Pay it Forward Goodies

About a month ago, I left a comment over on Closet Cooking regarding an event called Pay It Forward. Three people are randomly chosen from the comments to participate, and Kevin sends them a box of food-related goodies.

Peppery Green Salad with Manchego Cheese and Sauteed Pears

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas! Mine has been wonderful so far and I received far too many gifts :). For Christmas Eve dinner, I was asked to make a simple green salad that would pair nicely with Stone Crab claws. I looked through a few recipes and there was one that stuck

Mascarpone Brownies with Honey-Chocolate Sauce

MerryChristmas! Brownies have always been one of my favorite desserts, but honestly, who can’t say that? This version kicks the typical brownie up a few notches and actually makes it fairly elegant!

Chocolate Turtle Cookies

Chocolate Turtle Cookies

I’ve been looking for another sweet recipe to bake after making the Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats three times in the past two weeks at Mikey’s request. As delicious as they are, it’s a bit repetitive, hah. As soon as I saw these turtle cookies over at Closet Cooking, I knew that they would be

Veggie Burgers & Super Simple Garlic Aioli

Veggie Burgers
